utsa scholarships

Powerlifting is not an NCAA sport, so universities & colleges do not have athletic department funding to offer any athletic scholarships.

However, our team can help incoming lifters with 2 types of possible scholarships:

General Scholarships

If you apply & get accepted before February 15th you can be eligible to receive general scholarships from the University. These general scholarships range from $500 to $5000 per semester, and some are renewable for up to eight semesters. Therefore, we encourage you to apply early or you could be missing out on up to $40,000 in scholarship money. If you have any questions in regards to getting general scholarships, we will be glad to help.
